Front Camera Issue??

Dont know if its just me, but when im using the front camera and i switch it to record, it looks really dark. Like when taking a front pic it looks good, but when i switch it to record it gets really dark, this is with the exposure value at 0, I have to change it to +2 and it looks decent, can someone check there front camera and let me know if its just me, was running jugs4.1 but went back to 3.7 but still looks bad, gonna try and restore my first backup when i was stock to see if that works
EDIT: Didn't think it would help, but restored my first backup from the first day I got the phone, camera still doing the same thing, can someone just check to see if yours does this, thanks

Why not record videos with both roms and play them back on your computer?
That way you can tell if they are the same quality or if it is just the brightness on the screen that you have to adjust

All 3 record really dark, don't know if its always been like this or if it happened recently

Camera auto contrast setting not sticking

Rooted sprint rom. I just did a hard reset on the phone and noticed that my auto contrast option in camera settings is not saving. Every time I close the camera, the setting goes back to off. Is there any way to have it enabled all the time? Like chenging a code in the systems file?
Thanx.

I am having the same problem with my I 535. it's unfortunate because the auto contrast setting makes the photos so much better you have to change the setting every time you want to take a photograph. I have no idea why that setting is not being saved
can we get a real developer in here to take a look? it may take you 5 minutes

BUMP, any fixes?
I think this is a regression from the first stock ROM available on the phone, as I just recently updated to the stock AT&T 4.3 and the Auto Contrast option doesn't save. It could have regressed on an upgrade between these ROMs, which would explain why my photos were amazing when I first got the phone then the quality dropped and it became harder to get good shots.
It really made me miss the tap to focus and auto-contrast that I experienced on my old 3GS iphone.
Any ideas or ROM suggestions, or superior camera apps are appreciated.

Bump for this thread...got the same problem on a ATT GS3. Auto contrast (at least for me) makes a BIG difference re: image quality.

[Q] Photos with blurred borders and focus at center

Hi,
my Xperia S in the last months have problems with focus.
Camera photos have focus only in the center and the borders are blurred. Like Photoshop blur filter.
No one have this problems ? May be the rom ? It's stock Rom ICS .55
Before i had no problems.
Thanks for your replies!
LL

ps this is an example ogt my problems. All photos are as this one. Changing scenes or settings doesn't solve problem.

Do you have any case on your xs ? Or something near the camera ?
"Sad is happy for deep people" Sally Sparrow

correct me if im wrong but i think you're using manual settings
now in manual settings dont set your metering to center, set it to average and take a sample shot..and set your focus to multi auto focus
post another sample shot with these settings

Something is disturbing the lens sight. Remove your back cover, clean the lens with a soft cloth and try again without the back cover or anything else.

First you must see the photo then you can try to help. This isn't macro. He has a problem with camera. Look at photo.

None of these ....
I've already cleaned the camera with a soft clooth, testing all focus modes , reset phone.
None of these test works. The issue is present from 2 months , before i've no problems.
I think it's an hardware issue ...
Probably i want to upgrade my phone to Galaxy Note 2 so i'm thinking to sell it... what do you think ? Anybody tried the note 2 ?

How much time Sony take for a warranty repair like this ? Sony Italy say me 40 days... It's too much !!

LG Camera takes ages to save the photo and sometimes losses it

I've noticed if you snap a photo with LG Camera app and immediately press the back button or switch off the screen, the photograph is not going to be saved and you will loose it. You really need to wait until you see a preview of it in a circle on the right side.
And that time can be up to 2-3 seconds, which is really annoying.
Native google camera doesn't have this bug.
Has anyone else experienced such behavior?

No problem here...... Just tried it.
If I snap and immediately press the back button it quits the camera app but if I go back into the app the thumbnail of the shot is there.
So no, my G3 takes the shot and saves immediately.

Can you try to enable HDR mode on and do it once again ?

That's why it takes a while.. HDRs don't render instantly and need some time to process. The reason it doesn't save when you back out is because it's still taking pictures.

So, I understand that, but why does it need to discard the photo if I close it too fast ? Can't it just schedule the processing in the background like Google camera does ?
With Google camera if it is in HDR mode and I switch off the screen immediately after taking a picture, the photo will still be saved.

I believe it's because the way HDR works is it takes multiple pictures at different exposures and puts them together so maybe the lg camera takes the pictures more slowly and you're quitting it while the shutter is still open?

What is the point of quitting camera app immediately after making a shot? I think you probably want something that is nonexistent. Shoot with your Google camera if you in so desperate need to quit camera app after each shot. What else to advice

Well, imagine this, you're taking a photo and suddenly got an email. Right after the picture is taken you switch to email app and the photo gets lost.

You guys saying a god damn NONSENSE.
I believe most of you have upgraded from inferior phones to G3, just because it has top-notch technical specs.
Now you're saying that I have to just idle 3 seconds after taking HDR photo.
This is a god damn NONSENSE.

NONSENCE is your BS, that you talking about. All other phones are unresponsive while taking HDR pictures. Because of simple fact that taking HDR requires he11 of lot of postprocessing. So why talk NONSENSE and demand G3 to make it instantly?

Okee first off your comment is rude and disrispectful, secondly if you don't want your photo's getting deleted deselect hdr, wait 2-3 seconds or contact LG/stock based rom developer to enable processing in the backround for hdr photos

As I said before, a google camera app doesn't have this problem. It produces hdr fine, even if you close the app immediately.
Obviously you gonna ask why am I not using it. I find that lg camera produces better results in HDR mode.

I usually don't reply to semi trolly post but I just took an HDR and instantly hit the back button and it doesn't save. (Of course) but I did the same thing and waited MAYBE a second maybe less and the photo finished processing and saved even though I backed out.
@op does the phone close when you take a picture or are you just intentionally hiring the back button that quickly on purpose? I literally had to try to NOT take a picture to keep it from processing. In just curious why someone would back out of taking a picture each time so fast. Well an HDR anyway

I presume that LG camera made that behaviour intended, programmers decided that if back or home buttons pressed immediately after pic is shot then use decided not to save picture so camera stops processing completely and doesn't save photo on memory. I think it is not problem it is a feature.

1. I do not talk nonsense especially when photography is the subject.
2. My previous phone was a Z2 which I would hardly call inferior.
3. If you wish to take a non standard photo then you also have to allow the processor time to complete it's action. As such 3 seconds (which by the way it is nothing like this on my G3) is adequate.
4. What gives you the right to insult any user. All that was given to you was an example of a waiting period prior to doing something else. In no way did that give you the right to be offensive.

return your phone and get a nexus

Ugh, you mean I have to wait an entire two seconds so the photo can process??? What is this? The 1800s?!?!

[Q] Android 4.4.3 Manual Camera Mode Slow

My phone is fully stock and has never been rooted. I updated to 4.4.3 a few days ago, and notice the manual mode in the camera is slow. Even if I use the fastest shutter speed, it takes a few seconds to take a picture. Auto mode is quick as usual. Anybody have a solution?

Well you are not alone.
In the topic regarding the pics taken with the M8 we were discussing about the fact that now you can't see anymore what you shoot when using 4 second shutter speed (very annoying ) and also I've noticed like you that now in manual mode it's incredible slow.
I don't know I'd we are in the right place to discuss this matter...Personally I'm upset because I don't understand why they did this mess. I'm not fan of the UltraPixel camera and neither a fanboy, so I get used to the m8 camera, but now with this change HTC left me very disappointed.
I don't think they will revert back to the old camera...For them this is an improvement...

Man, that's crazy. The only improvement the camera needed was HDR mode (I use the lock focus trick, but I wish that wasn't needed), and removing the purple fringing if that was possible to fix in the software. Oh, if HTC added a fast shutter priority mode, that would have been nice.
But yes, they need to fix manual mode.
